"A Shenandoah paper says that near
four hundred men are idle in and arount
that town.
1t is reported In railroad circles that tn
Lehigh & Susquehanna Railroad contem
plates doing away with its iound-hous
and repair shops at Odenweldertown Tn,
closing of these shops would throw a larg,
number of men out of employment.
The capitalists who wanted to least
from the Reading Coal and Iron Compan,
the coleres at Newkrk, near Tamaqua
which have beeni6ls for ten ortwelve years
have heard from President Corbin that tho
company cannot entertain a proposition al
this time so lease the collcries. This de.
cision is beieyed to refer TO all the idle
colieries of the company in the anthracite
coal fields.
The Lchgh Valley railroad owns, leases
and operates three hundred and twenty-six
miles of road employs three hundred and
twenty-five locomotives, one hundred and
sixteen passenger cars, 81 ASA coal and
freight cars, and in 1886 Its gross earnings
for passenger traffic was 1901, 1892, and
for freight SO, 755, ,0l0O1. Its traffic is also
booming and attests the prosperous coudi-
ton OF the coal and iron industries that de-
pend upon It for access to the markets Of
world. yB6.e
"A workshop has been started in the
basement of the Bows High School builing
at Reading. where there is tool chest and
also bench for the use Of students. II is
proposed to give them additional facilities
for work. Students In the mechanical arts
are, permitted to visit industrial establish
ments, measure pieces of machinery, take
rough sketches and, upon returning 10 the
school, make drawings thereof. In the
physical department the pupils manufac-
tuTe the instruments required in their
studies.
There are hints OF trouble between the
Central Railroad of New Jersey and its
engineers, some of whom are asked by the
company to work eighteen hours at a
stretch for $3.50. The engineers claim
that they cannot stand such long hours,
and they are right: but they can stand tic
hours better than the company can. 1t is
very poor economy to work men for so
long a continuous period The recent
rifIin disaster on the Baltimore & Ohio
grew out of just such expensive economy,
and its cost in human life, money and
corporate prestige is not yet counted.
There is no wisdom in rushing into in
dependent political labor action. InIepen-
dent political labor action should not be
tried unless the prospects of success are be-
yond question, and the organizations of la
Dor numerically and intellectually strong.
The aim of our great economic labor or
CARNATIONS in political sense is to accomp-
lish beneficial legislation, more than to
found party or elect special men. Where
the organizations of labor are weak. or not
of one mind politically, the wise course is
to concentrate upon measures, and support
the candidate who most favors such meas
ures. Let lis do thai which will promote |
labor legislation, even if it should interfere
with our own personal ambition.

The Anthracite Coal Trade.

The opening of the spring season Is
awaited with much interest bJ the authra-
cite coal trade, who anticipate a profitable
business this year. In few DAYS it is ex
pected the rate Of pools upon coal from the
mines TO tidewatcr will be announced, and
some defrite conclusion have been reached
by the coal managers as to whether or not
there will be any reduction in prices.
Then shippers and dealers will be enabled
to make prices and bid for contracts. At
present the accumulation of the domestic
sizes at Port Richmond is increasing. but
Otherwise there is no noticeable change in
the general condition of the anthracite
trade At New York there is also noted
slackening in the demand for the domestic
sizes, but that market is reported to be
taking considerable quantity Of ceal both
for coal consumption and Tor shipment.
The Schuylkill Canal was to be opened to
navigation Monday, and all individual coal
operators will be privileged to use the canal

coal to market via all rail cheaper than IT
can by the canal, and "will avail itself of
its right to do so.f
